The first signs of fibromyalgia came about when I was in college. My arms would be aching after completing blue book tests, and my knees would hurt from climbing stairs all day. I figured this was normal at the time. After about a year or so, however, I found my legs throbbing, my arms...

Can't sleep....3am in the UK. Third night awake almost all night. Got lots on my mind. Not making progress. Taking antibiotiocs but after a week am worse. Phoned Doc to speak to her but she didn't ring back and now she's not in until Wednesday. I wanted a swob test for accurate diagnosis not...

My new acupuncturist placed me on a strictly raw veggie diet (sans nightshades) for the past week. That's right, salads only, no fruit, no grains, no nuts, no cooking, just RAW VEGGIES. I used to be a serious carnivore and a terrible eater of processed foods and sugars. I've been working on a...

Dear Fibro, You came into my life unexpectedly, unannounced, and have set up camp indefinitely without my approval. I didn’t even know something like you existed, that I could ever share my life permanently, so early on with something so mysterious and uncurable. You took away my job, stunted...

Does anyone else have this problem? I'm not sure if its medication, part of the fibro or if I'm just plain crazy but my tongue always feels like its swollen. I always have a funny taste in my mouth no matter how often I brush my teeth and the only way I cab describe the problem is a swollen...

I had a friend posted something to his FB page. Gave me a laugh and I thought it was fitting: Take the Face Punch Challenge. Help spread awareness of Fibromyalgia and Donate money to Fibromyalgia research. At the same time, get a taste for what it is like to live with FMS. Face Punch...

Hi all! I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I am will also likely be diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (painful bladder syndrome). I was wondering if anyone else wakes up after a nap feeling super groggy and sick, and their pain gets out of hand with a super nasty taste in...
